Guys, no point changing your halogen bulbs.

I've used all those diamondvision, crystalvision from Phillips and the conclusion is, it's no better than the default bulbs (Halogen). Because the color is lighter (whiter), the illumination actually becomes worse off than before.

HID bulbs can be changed but in general the default is the best color for vision. 6000k looks better from the outside, but for driving purposes, it's actually not as bright/clear as compared to the default 4300k lights.

Btw, what the comfort push start is instead of a key ignition, it's just a slot where you push your key in to start the car. Like the normal push start button engine, you have to press the brakes to start the car.

Frankly, I actually find push-start button engine annoying. Because this means I have to get into the car, push the brakes and press the button just to start the engine compared to key start where I just open the door, slot the key in and turn and the car starts, I don't even need to get in the car. Usually this happens when the errand is longer than expected and you have passengers in the car, so you return back to start the car for them so that the air-conditioning runs.

Wonder what is the kelvin scale for your Passat? That look really bright. Bi-Xenon usually above 6000K?

Doubtful. All car manufacturers use 4300k because it's the color that provides the best illumination at night. That's from my research on the various HID kits a few years back, I found out that all the default factory bulb kevin scale is set around 3600k to 4300k for most of the Japanese cars. I suspect the continentals also do the same.

Did some research and yes most OEM Xenon are 4300K. Impressive, no wonder it is 3 times more brighter than normal halogen bulbs.
By the way, I think the OEM halogen on 2.0L should be around 2500-3500 k.

just sharing my exp to buy plate number.
current running number can check here http://www.jpj.gov.my/transaksi-percuma-no...aftaran-terkini
now on tender can check here http://www.jpj.gov.my/aktiviti-dan-tender

so as of today could already start WYB, ,so go to JPJ wangsa maju, get the form from the form counter and go to first floor and queue to see if your number is up for grab, if WYB is running, u can see the pegawai JPJ if not mistaken room 5,(can ask from the form counter) and search for WYC number, there's a list printed on a paper and mark as which number taken or not. if ur number is there, he assigned that number to u.. tell u the price of the number and u make payment... give ur receipt to the SA and u got 60 days or so to utilized the number.. good luck!

Wah, didn't know about the 2nd link you posted kerelbort

WYC series tender started since a month ago...

If according to the schedule, the tendering of no for WYB and WYC is closed? So can only walk in for "running number"?

yups.. only running number available.. WYB have to queue at counter, WYC need to see the pegawai JPJ..

u can check out first if ur number already tender out before meeting the pegawai at the ground floor..


next fav number and could be high price is WYY9999...

and no.. im not a runner

GOOD POINT! I dislike push start now. Old fashion allow us to start engine without entering the car! Why i never thought about it.

Oversea Passat does come with "remote start", which you can start your car by hold or press the button on the remote.
For local version, only can open all windows remotely right?

Yeah, no remote start. Would be nice if it did come with that function. I can only operate the windows remotely.

head over to prius C group and u will see that they can drive the car without the key

as in. start the car, left the car at home.. and drive away, if did not stop the car engine, it is stilll drivable only will come out error key fob not found...

can the same happen to M6? any test drive to check this?

((not gonna buy M6 for now... far reach from my pocket.. but I'm envy and admire new M6 since launching))

CX5 can. Remember read in their CX5 club FB. Accidentally drove the car without the key/ left it at home. But once he off the engine, he cant restart it again. So have to call the wife to bring the key to him

Comes with a price.... USD 540.84 for Remote Engine Start Kit with Installation Kit

http://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda-6-remote-start-engine.html

"2014 Mazda 6 Remote Engine Start Kit with Installation Kit. Get to your warm, or cool, happy place even faster with Mazda’s Remote Engine Start.

The remote fob itself costs USD 269.28

How much in rm?

My order form wrote RED as my first colour and WHITE as second.
My SA already reserved a RED one for me.
So, no choice got to take SOUL RED. Anyone with me?

Wow. Mine no state colour. Only inform through fb pages

Its already WYB today.

It depends on where the push start button is located. But u still need to press the brake. Its a safety feature which i think is a good idea. There have been numerous cases of the car lurching forward using the 'stand outside & start' method especially of the driver has put the car into gear (for manual cars).

Either way, disliking the push start feature solely because of this tiny, once in a while inconvenience doesnt quite make sense.

Isnt it the same for most cars with the similar function?
